KUMHO LAUNCHES FIRST PLATINUM TYRE STORE IN WA




The Kumho Platinum outlet concept has been designed to showcase the innovation and reputation of Kumho and to market the full range of Kumho tyres to consumers demanding better service and facilities.

The new Belmont Tyre and Auto Kumho Platinum Store was praised by Kumho Australia managing director Mr. Edward Cho, who applauded the commitment of Belmont owner and dealer principal, John Quinlan.

According to Mr. Cho, Belmont Tyre and Auto was selected as the first Kumho Platinum Tyre store in WA because of the company’s professionalism, its commitment to Kumho and its strong track record of customer service.

“Belmont Tyre and Auto has shown that it is committed to providing the highest level of customer service and to raising the standard of presentation and facilities at its tyre outlets,” said Mr. Cho.

“The Belmont Tyre and Auto Kumho Platinum store will be the template for the Kumho Platinum concept as it is rolled out throughout our WA dealer network,” said Mr. Cho.

“Belmont Tyre and Auto is a very professional retailer with a convenient location, customer friendly facilities and well trained staff who deliver great service.

“Perth is a very important market for Kumho over the past 30 years so it is appropriate that it is one of the first areas to have one of our new Platinum concept stores.

“I am pleased to congratulate John Quinlan and his team at Belmont Tyre and Auto on the great job they have done in bringing the concept to reality,” Mr. Cho added.

According to John Quninlan the chance to establish the first Kumho Platinum Store in WA is a real honour and will help expand the awareness of Kumho’s range of quality tyres in the Perth region.

“We are very committed to Kumho because we believe they offer the best quality and price equation on the Australian tyre market and our customers who keep coming back for Kumho clearly agree,” said John Quinlan.
